Good morning Karen (and g'night J&B)

Seems like I'm going to bed earlier and earlier... did wake at 3 this morning, but managed to go back for a nap.

Fighting off a cold, but otherwise...all ok here.

John gets his first radiation treatment tomorrow. There have been several preparation visits with some tattoos placed for accuracy.

Hope it's a good day for you, too.
Smile !~ Joyce

Joyce, best of luck tomorrow with John and his treatment. Will be in my prayers.

Peace Trina

Joyce,

I hope John's treatments go well, and I hope that your cold goes away.

Trina, you are up early today!!!

I hope that you both have a great day today...

Hugs, Karen

Kind of tired today. But I suspect once I get to work I will wake up. Feeling good about keeping up with my life. 3 days later and my house is still clean, the sink is still empty and the cat box is clean. Hopefully I can keep this daily habit up so I don't get so overwhelmed again. I also have been to the gym 4 days in a row. Will go again tonight, then I will let myself slack for Thursday and Friday as rest is just as important as exercise. One day at a time things are getting better-or rather I am.

Sounds good Jennifer. Sounds like you have your ducks in a row. I am happy for you. And yes, rest and relaxation are very important. Keep up the fantastic work!!!

Hugs, Karen

Hi all-

My depression is back. I am sleepy all the time. I just lay around on the weekend. I have no motivation for anything. Which is not good since I am working 2 jobs now. I don't go back to the doctor for 2 weeks. I am worried guys... I want to be able to control some of this myself. I've started exercising, eating better, etc. and it isn't helping me.

Sorry to whine- I am just frustrated. I thought maybe we had found the right combination of medicine but I am seeing that we didn't.

Wishing everyone health and happiness!

Hi Michele,

I am so sorry that you are feeling depressed. Maybe your medication just needs a little tweaking. I hope you can hang in there until you see the doc. Working two jobs is a lot, don't sell yourself short. Keep trying, you are going to be okay. You might just need more of something.

Hugs, Karen...

Thursday smilers ~ 2/07   *********************************   Did you know        Bats always turn left when exiting a cave.        This is one of those fun "facts" that shows up in trivia books        but nobody seems to be sure where this batty story got started.      Instead, it would appear that bats turn in whichever direction       provides the most open space.     Just a ‘groaner’     A man rushed into a busy doctor's office and shouted,    "Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!"     The doctor calmly responded, "Now, settle down.     You'll just have to be a little patient."     You’ll   know you are ‘ripe on the vine’      When the best part of your day is over            when your alarm clock goes off in the morning. *********************************

Good morning all. Another early one for me. Hubby for got to put the lid on the coffee pot and it exploded all over the counter! So I had to wake up[?] lol

Michele, part of your depression may be situational with 2 jobs! That is a lot, I worked that way 7 days a week for over 2 years for while years back. It was not fun and I remember not being happy. Try to make some time for you self even if it is 15min for meditation.

Jennifer, so proud for you that you are keeping up with all you hard work. It is easier if you do a little each day, so the house work does not overwhelm us. We have enough in life that will do that anyway! Keep up the good work!

Joyce so sorry the appoint was postponed. How aggrivating. Not the type you want to wait for.

Hi Karen, my afghan is coming along nicely, dinning room table is covered in squares!

Have a good day all!
Peace
Trina

Yeah for your afgan Trina. I think I finished mine, but can always add more. Mine wasn't squares though.

I hope that this is a good day for all...

Hugs, Karen

He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love. ~St. Basil


I have to add that kindness has to land on fertile ground in my experience.

good luck all and keep trying!

Peace
Trina cool
